Tens of thousands of Canadians marched 30 years ago today in Montreal to convince Quebecers to reject independence. The 鈥渘o鈥 vote narrowly won the 1995 referendum, with 51% opting to keep the French-speaking province in Canada. There was a small protest in Montreal on Saturday in support of independence, but surveys show two-thirds of Quebecers would vote against it today. While Canadian unity is still sometimes tested, opposition to the Trump administration has given the federation a boost 鈥 as has the Blue Jays鈥 World Series run this week.
